Republicans in Congress are doing a 180 on net neutrality as the Federal Communications Commission prepares to issue new rules within weeks. For years, GOP lawmakers have adamantly opposed any rules requiring Internet service providers to treat all Web traffic equally, calling them unnecessary and an example of Washington overreach. But now that the FCC is moving toward issuing a tough net neutrality order that would subject broadband to utility-style regulation — an approach endorsed by President Barack Obama — top Republicans in both chambers are making plans to legislate their own rules to ensure the agency doesn’t go too far.

The upcoming FCC rulings and network neutrality are really just a prelude to nationalization of the communications infrastructure. The Democrats, RINOs/GOPe, and the political elites just love this idea.

This will be followed shortly by nationalization of other infrastructure, such as the railroads and airlines.
